Now what?
Once completing the first part of the training, it’s time to start implementing what you’ve learned and start creating real live orders in the system so we can improve the workflow templates and get some feedback.
...
Please, spend the time off to train and test the system and the topics we have reviewed, so you can come up with questions and requests we can target specifically.

Helpful tips
Create work routines
Who does what? Who creates orders, who assigns, who schedules the order and task dates , and who uploads the assets.
How does it transition from the order creator to the additional steps: scheduling, assigning, etc…
Who adds the messages?
When do you switch to “In progress” so that assigned resources will see the order?
Always prefer creating your orders in advance.
For example, for example, If you have a series, create order for the whole series. That This way, once the assets are available - you simply upload them and the order is ready.
Manual task dates or Lead days?
I We advise starting with manual task dates and gradually transitioning to task lead days (i.e., automized scheduling in which the task dates are auto-populated once you enter the Order date), once you start gaining more confidence in the system.
In automized scheduling, tasks task dates are auto-populated which can be a bit confusing for the inexperienced user.
When it comes to order dates, I we do suggest linking the Order internal supply date to the Order supply date (done from the Workflow templates page), with or without lead days between them or without.
Accurate dates at all times!
Get used to having all your Order and Task dates accurate in the system.
If an order or task date is changed - make sure to reflect it the change in the system so you and your resources can trust the dates they see displayed and efficiently use the monitoring pages in the system
